I have received several recommendations for books that might include strategies to
help students perform better on state mandated tests. Is there anyone familiar with
these titles? I am particularly interested in a “how-to” type manual that gives
some ideas on how to apply the research findings.

Many thanks to Margie Guillot who not only suggested several of these title, but
also attached reviews about each! Reviews are available from Follett (Titlewave)
or from Amazon. However, even after reading the reviews, I find it hard to
determine which might best suit my needs. A recommendation from someone who has
read and used one of these books would be most appreciated.
